"'I Walk Alone'" is the first single from the album 'My Winter Storm' by Finnish vocalist Tarja. The single was released on October 26, 2007 through Universal Music label.

Song



This song was written by Harry Sommerdahl, Mattias Lindblom and Anders Wollbeck. It was inspired by a musical motif in 'Requiem' by Mozart. It features a theater atmosphere accompanied by orchestra, guitars, and Turunen's powerful voice.

According to Turunen the song "describes her personality perfectly well and identifies her as a singer".

Some fans have considered this as her response to Nightwish's "Bye Bye Beautiful" from the album 'Dark Passion Play' (2007), which was a song directed towards her. The song was a declaration of her independence and willingness to move on.

In 2009, the song was covered by the Norwegian singer Jrn Lande on his album 'Spirit Black'.

Video



The video was shot at Teufelssee in Berlin, Germany. It was directed by Jrn Heitmann (who had already worked with Turunen directing Nightwish's 'Sleeping Sun' 2005 video). It also features four characters interpreted by Turunen herself. They are: the Phoenix, the Dead Boy, the Doll and the Ice Queen.
